Bus Accident Injuries in Los Angeles: What to Do After the Crash
Injury bus accidents in Los Angeles are on the rise, with over 2,000 reported incidents in 2022 alone, leading to hundreds of injuries. These accidents often involve buses colliding with larger vehicles, such as SUVs or trucks, and can result in both minor and serious injuries. While passengers on buses are somewhat protected by the vehicle’s structure, high-impact crashes can still lead to injuries like broken bones, sprains, and concussions, with more severe outcomes in some cases.
If you are injured in a bus accident, seek medical attention immediately, even for seemingly minor injuries. Document the scene, take photos, and report the incident to the authorities. Afterward, it’s important to consult with a personal injury attorney who can help you navigate the legal process and secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. In many cases, the bus company or its driver may be held liable for the accident.
